Common Issues:
- No Sound from Rear Speakers: Verify speaker connections and ensure your vehicle's audio system is compatible. Some OEM systems may require specific adapters or speaker replacements.
- Bluetooth Echo during Calls: Check microphone placement and adjust audio settings. Ensure no other devices are interfering with the Bluetooth connection.
- Parking Sensor Chime Issues: If the chime does not shut off, it may indicate a CAN bus communication issue. Ensure the correct CAN bus adapter is used for your vehicle model.
- Radio Sound Quits After Car Off: This behavior can be related to the vehicle's power retention settings. Consult your vehicle's manual or a professional installer if persistent.
- Android Auto Icon Size: Icon sizes within Android Auto are typically controlled by the Android Auto application itself. Check for updates to the Android Auto app on your phone.
